Cornelia quickly handed Allen a tissue, "What's up?"
Wiping away his tears, Allen said, "Mr. Artis, let me tell ya, women can sometimes turn into real nightmares."
"What are you blabbering about?" asked Sonya.
"I'm talking to Mr. Artis, you butt out," answered Allen.
"Mr. Artis, don't listen to his nonsense," said Sonya.
Marcus nodded, "No worries, I know what to take in and what to brush off."
Allen gripped Marcus' hand and went on, "Before getting married, I was all stoked about married life, seeing other couples hand in hand, I was green with envy. The first few years after I got married were just like that. My wife was all sweet and caring, and we had loads to chat about, tons of fun stuff to do together. But, as time went on, especially after having a kid, she suddenly turned all cranky and was always snapping at me.
“Mr. Artis, let me tell ya, one time when I got back from work, the moment I opened the front door, a shoe came flying at me. I didn't have time to dodge, and boom, it smacked me right in the face... she actually hit me!"
Zack, listening on the side, was having a good laugh, "Keep going, I haven't heard these juicy stories yet."
Marcus looked at Cornelia, and Cornelia was looking back at him, their gazes meeting in mid-air.
